Today the KKW beauty founder’s influence over industry-leading trends is unprecedented and to be fair she has built the Kardashian empire from the ground up, but every now and then when an old image of the Keeping up with the Kardashian star makes its rounds around the Internet fans are quick to mock her evolving appearance since she made her debut into the public eye nearly 10 years ago.

The latest criticism comes after momager Kris Jennerposted a throw back picture of a 1997 Kim. And while she looked like every other teenager in the late 90s—right down to her over plucked eyebrows and crimped hair the comments from Instagram users were unforgiving.

“I look horrendous! I was obsessed with Drew Barrymore and her thin eyebrows! And I Discovered glitter bronze shadow,” the 37-year-old commented in an effort to defend her looks after an overflow of backlash.

One fan offered some comfort writing: “It was 1997. Everyone was obsessed with Drew & her thin eyebrows. Take comfort in the fact you aren’t alone,” under the picture, which also featured baby sisters Kendalland Kylie.

As readers know, the debate over KUWTK star’s relationship with plastic surgery has long been in question, but most recently Kim has been feeling more body confident than ever following the birth of her third child and second daughter Chicago West who was born via surrogate. Since then Kanye’s wife has been parading her nudes over social media and most recently announced that she has a 24-inch waist.

Even singer Katy Perry took dig, sarcastically writing, “Tell Kim to show us that look on makeup tutorial pls.”
